Hey guys. Does anyone know how to correctly take off the IS350 door panels? Or is there a thread on here on how to do it? I need to take it off to add a piece of felt to make my windows stop squeaking with my tint. Thanks

I've taken my door panels off.

there is a clip with a screw in it directly behind the door handle. I have no clue how to take that screw out. I pulled the door panel out with force and pretty much messed up the screw.

after taking a lok at it... I have no idea how anyone would be able to take that out without force.

to put it back one, I took apart that little plate that holds in the screw and clip and removed it all together.

I hope that helps. if not, I MIGHT have some pics of when I did it.

EDIT

i figured out how to remove the screw behind the door handle. you cant really tell, but behind the door handle, theres a panel you can remove. i did not notice this earlier. you can remove this panel and gain access to the screw that i was not able to access before. if you need a pic, let me know and i will try to take one with my phone.

here is where the clip/screw i was talking about is located:

as you can see, the aluminum is a bit popped out from me forcing it out. i see absolutely no other way of doing it.

remember, to put it back on, you're gonna have to remove that screw from the door panel.

i almost forget:

the screw that i removed, after i put the door panel back on, i noticed no difference. it feels the same as before.

Can someone tell me what size door speaker do we have? If i buy new speaker for the door, do you think it will sound better without changing the stock amp? I have a non ML system and i would like to make it sound better with just replace with better speaker. thank

take off the door panel and measure. it shouldnt take more than 5 minutes.
